This will be considered an official day of mourning by Canada's Parliament. The Senate will only sit for statements on the Tumbler Ridge tragedy, and then adjourn. All Senate hearings this afternoon will be cancelled. And flags will fly at half mast.

Thinking about this now in the context of the various kinds of disinformation in the U.S. at the moment. The overall message of the discussion (assuming I’m summarizing it correctly) is that what we believe is less about rationally weighing evidence and more about how we identify and who we trust.

There are also practice tests online which may help! They should already be doing them in class, but the platform is identical for the actual exam.

Oof. I preferred the now potentially out-of-date policy. I have equity concerns on streaming a test that then gets used for final grades.

The context: EQAO is in 2 parts. The first part is standard, the second is based on performance of the first to be either more difficult or easier.

It used to depend on the teacher and/or board. WRDSB instructed us to specifically not use EQAO towards grades in the 2023-24 school year, but it may have changed.
